About How I made it (Somehow)

I love three things in life: football, food and film. I am Gaetano Ghiura, an Italian writer-director-producer, and I know from personal experience how difficult it is to navigate the audiovisual industry. Therefore here, in this podcast, we will talk with industry professionals to explore their careers and learn from their struggles and experiences, to understand how they, somehow, made it.

🎬 Ep. 10 - XOXO: Co-Directing, Shared Vision & Building a Creative Duo

In this episode of How I Made It (Somehow), directing duo XOXO - Tessa and Paula - join the podcast to talk about what it really means to create as two. Working across global campaigns for brands like Meta, Sephora, Coca-Cola, Ikea and McDonald’s, they’ve developed a distinctive voice that blends bold visuals with emotional storytelling. Together, they share how they balance their different instincts, build a shared creative language, and navigate the industry as a duo. We talk about collaboration, trust, and the realities of co-directing - from shaping ideas together to making decisions under pressure, and why having fun in the process still matters. A sharp, honest conversation about partnership, authorship, and finding your voice - not alone, but together.

🎬 Ep. 8 – Mischa Andreski: From Production Manager to Writer-Director - Now or Never

In this episode of How I Made It (Somehow), Mischa Andreski joins the podcast to talk about her transition from Production Manager at Adventure Pictures, working alongside Sally Potter, to stepping into her own path as a writer-director. Having built her career behind the scenes - managing budgets, logistics, teams and creative problem-solving - Mischa shares what it really means to understand filmmaking from the inside out. We talk about learning the craft through production, supporting other directors’ visions, and the moment she realised it was time to back her own. A grounded, honest conversation about timing, authorship, and the courage it takes to shift from making films happen for others to creating your own.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
